Scoping review of the characteristics and implementation of routine outcome monitoring and feedback for adults and young people accessing alcohol and other drug use treatment
Efforts to examine how best to generate, present and use feedback to inform AOD treatment are needed. Optimising the use of feedback across treatment settings will require examination of the interplay between feedback characteristics and clinician, client and contextual variables. Improved attention to idiographic outcomes, benchmarks, diversity considerations, health literacy, treatment context, training, fidelity and the reporting of evaluation…

A mixed‐methods study of staff perspectives on the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of patient‐reported routine outcome measures and feedback in alcohol and other drug treatment
John Milbank and the Fortunes of Postliberal Theology
The article offers a critical evaluation of John Milbank’s advocacy of postliberal theology in his writings of the last three decades. His critique of secularism and liberalism is found to be deficient in several regards and counter arguments for a critical but positive engagement with secular modernity are advanced. Liberal democracy should not be equated with possessive individualism because it involves obligations, solidarities, and the sustai…
Mitigating and learning from the impact of Covid‐19 infection on addictive disorders
The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures required to address it are cutting a swathe through people's lives and the global economy. People with addictive disorders are particularly badly affected as a result of poverty, physical and mental health vulnerabilities and disruption of access to services. The pandemic may well increase the extent and severity of some addictive disorders. Current research is suffering from the termination of face-to-face …
Learning and savings groups in Bangladesh: An Alternative Model for Transforming Families and Communities
Development programmes centred on microfinance have experienced varied levels of success, especially in Bangladesh. Although impact assessments of these development interventions conclude that poor participants’ access to credit is enhanced, the same empirical analysis reveals less encouraging results on women’s empowerment and community transformation. Food for the Hungry’s Family and Community Transformation (FCT) programme represents an altern…

Effect of initiating drug treatment on the risk of drug-related poisoning death and acquisitive crime among offending heroin users

Meta‐analysis of drug‐related deaths soon after release from prison
Aims The transition from prison back into the community is particularly hazardous for drug‐using offenders whose tolerance for heroin has been reduced by imprisonment. Studies have indicated an increased risk of drug‐related death soon after release from prison, particularly in the first 2 weeks. For precise, up‐to‐date understanding of these risks, a meta‐analysis was conducted on the risk of drug‐related death in weeks 1 + 2 and 3 + 4 compared …
Reinhold Niebuhr and the Ethics of Christian Realism
After considering the social and pastoral context in which Niebuhr began to develop his theology, some of the leading influences and dominant themes are identified. Through engaging with a gritty Marxian class analysis Niebuhr launched his attack upon the social idealism of so much of the Christian witness of his generation. In mid-life the critique of liberalism and his ‘Christian realism’ are informed by a wrestling with the Augustinian and Ref…
Drug Trafficking: Time to Abolish the Death Penalty
Paul Tillich and the Theology of German Religious Socialism
Although Tillich is better known for his later work in the United States, it was in his earlier religious socialism that he forged many of the central features of what proved lasting in his theology. The political ferment following the collapse of imperial Germany after the First World War had given rise to a widespread expectation of social and cultural transformation. As a leading theoretician of the German religious socialist movement, Tillich…

William Temple: Christianity and the Life of Fellowship
William Temple is best known for his contribution to the forging of a social consensus that resulted in the foundation of the post-war British welfare state following his untimely death in 1944 after only two years as Archbishop of Canterbury. Widely regarded as the most theologically gifted holder of that office since Anselm, his pioneering contribution to the elucidation of a methodology for Christian social ethics which emphasized the role of …
Richard Tawney: Moral Theology and the Social Order
After noting the impressive scope of Tawney's contribution as an economic historian, labour theoretician and Christian moralist, attention is given to his three classic socialist texts: The Acquisitive Society, Equality, and Religion and the Rise of Capitalism. Tawney's critique of capitalism is rooted in his Christian convictions concerning the worth of each human person and also informed by his historical analysis of the evolution of capitalist…

Alcohol use by young people from different ethnic groups: Consumption, intoxication and negative consequences

Drug and Alcohol Use and the Link with Homelessness: Results from a Survey of Homeless People in London
A community survey using a structured questionnaire was used with 389 homeless 1 people currently or recently sleeping rough (on the streets) in London.

Injecting, sharing and having unprotected sex were substantially reduced among clients admitted to methadone programmes and among those admitted to residential treatments. The overall levels of risk fell after treatment…
